Colored Light

Famous quotes containing the words colored and/or light:

“I am a colored woman or a Negro woman. Either one is OK. People dislike those words now. Today these use this term African American. It wouldn’t occur to me to use that. I prefer to think of myself as an American, that’s all!”

“O take fast hold; let that light be thy guide
In this small course which birth draws out to death,”
